A Song of Ice & Fire

Skinchangers are able to take control of beasts of the forest and control them. Most can only control one at a time. Varamyr Sixskins, however, is so powerful, that it’s as though the entire forest were purely under his command.

Those under the Kraken banner have long learned that raiding and terror are close companions. Thus the crew of House Greyjoy’s warship Silence is composed entirely of mutes.

After the death of Robert Baratheon, House Baratheon became a House divided. Robert’s brothers, Stannis and Renly, both decided that they should be the next one to sit on the Iron Throne.

The Riders of the Highgarden box set for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game gives House Baratheon players in support of Renly Baratheon a new cavalry unit to field on the tabletop.

The sea is a cruel and unforgiving place. Many a sailor have lost their lives in the briny depths It makes sense that the religion of the region would focus on a maritime deity such as the Drowned God Followers of his teachings are known as the Drowned Me

The far north is a harsh and bitter realm. People don’t live in fully organized Houses like in much of Southern Westeros. Instead, they form loose bands and tribes. These tribes have started a mass migration down into much more warm and fertile lands

The rugged northlands breed hardy people who know that to survive in the harsh landscape, they must work together. As such, families have strong bonds strong as iron and even bannermen are like kin.

Some units can be judged on their military skills or strength, but in war, when another army is advancing, loyalty is a much more valuable asset. The Sworn Swords are the bedrock of the strategies for Stark commanders.

House Greyjoy’s influence spreads like the tentacles of the kraken that adorns their banners. While most of their ranks consist of hit-and-run melee units, they know that a force lacking in ranged support is like a fish on a hook

A Dothraki is effectively born in the saddle. From the earliest age, they learn to ride, becoming the greatest horsemen in the land. After many battles, these horsemen have honed their skills to perfection.

Many in Westeros regard those in the Free Folk army as savages, and many in the Free Folk seem to go out of their way to enhance that feeling.
